Back 2 Sk00l

I arrived at the University of Mary Washington yesterday at around 1230ish, and am finally all unpacked, I just have to organize some things. I've had two packed days or RA stuff already, and this is just the beginning. The day isn't over yet, right now I'm starting to work on the door dec(oration)s for my residents.
I can't believe this is real. I can't believe summer is actually over. Sam and Katie were at the beach today? Don't tell me that's allowed without me.
But I have just been going buck here, and I don't think anyone knows how to handle my craziness. Usually I tone it down when I first meet people, but I just can't hold back anymore. Plus it was hard to hold back when I was working with an hour and a half of sleep. I started packing for school at 430 in the morning when I had to leave by 9 on Sunday, and go to mass at 730. Who's smart? Me.
But I don't regret it. I had an awesome last night hanging out with Sam and Katie. They made me an early birthday cake which was delishhhhh, we beached it, we made homemade veggie burgers, we chilled, we jumped off the loading dock at 61st street, and so much else that was just hilarious and awesome.

I've been thinking about getting my facebook back, not because I want it, but because I want to be in contact with people that I won't be seeing, that I had to leave back in VB. But I feel like this would be the worst time to get it back, when I'm about to be so busy with school and everything. It's so distracting, which is why I deleted it in the first place. We'll see.

Song of the Day: Stir it Up- Bob Marley. Because it was my HR's ringtone. embrace.

6 Days!

6 days of summer left
2 days with Virginia
2 days until Becca comes visit
3 days until Sam comes home
3 days until the first and last Fab 4 sleepover of the summer

But summer only really ends when I let it.
Work is seeming very tedious these days, I just wanna have fun! But I must be responsible (which is why I'm spending my time waiting for Virginia starting to pack)
So Many things to do in so little time.
I just got a bunch of stuff on tax free weekend, for school. Including three pairs of overalls, yep, I'm bringing 'em back. School is going to be hilarious, slash my presence at school is going to be hilarious.

I wonder if I could pull off not taking a shower until I have to leave for school? It's already been since Thursday so, I could make it six more, right? Why not? We'll see.
I'm also realizing how hilarious this summer was, and how much it feels like it hasn't existed. Sam and I never finished our tree house, stupid broken wrist and then vacations. We still have some time though! I didn't finish any grad school applications; still time! I tore my ACL again....I have nothing redeeming to say about that, besides, "suck it up, kid" to myself. There have been no waves at all this summer until these past few days and yesterday I couldn't even go outttttttttt, but I am today and I did the day before. I have only seen Becca like 3 times? Stupid Richmond, but she is coming on Wednesday!

Long Live Summer 2011!

song of the day: I want it to be Knee Deep again because I just love that so much, but Here for a Good Time- George Strait is playing right now, and it sounds about right for my present state, so I choose it. "I ain't here for a long time, I'm here for a good time"

Country Music and Counting Down

As always when I get back from the outer banks I listen to so much country music because thats all Laurel and Jessie sing. I'm diggin' it, though. Tim McGraw's voice kills me, and all of Lady Antebellum's and Zac Brown band's songs rock my world.

The last few days have been so summer-worthy, and I'm stoked on it, but it's all bittersweet seeing as I only have ten days left to embrace the beauty and heat and carefree bummin' of summer break.
I did have an epiphany the other day though: why be bummed about going to school? Because there's no beach, air conditioning, or vb friends? Or because there is a lot of homework and responsibility? No, none of that matters! I shouldn't be bummed, it's my last year of undergrad and I know I want to live it up and not wish these next nine months would go by quickly. Life moves too fast already, so I've even been at work not wishing the shift would be over, because that's another several hours of sunshine and beach views gone. When I have to leave for school on the 14th, though I may shed a tear, I'm going in optimistically, this year will be what I want it to be, it's my third year on campus so I'm comfortable and i know what I'm doing.
I'm gonna chill with the people I care about and have fun with and I'm not gonna let any chumps bring me down like chumps try to do sometimes. I'm gonna be making money and having fun while also champing out at art history papers and CCM Social duties.

Now the only thing left to do is figure out how I'm gonna manage the breaks and where slash what I'm gonna do. I'm feeling something good brewin' for spring break.

And the waves are supposed to be good this weekend, sick.

Song of the day: these days- rascal flatts. I have seriously been trying to remember this song since like 2007 or something when I went back to the Visneskis house after obx vacation and Laurel had the cd, but then I left and couldn't remember specific lyrics or anything to look it up with, then it came on pandora and I was like yes!!!!!!!! Victory! So now it's the song of the day.
